"If you need an ID to buy cold medicine, [then] it's reasonable to require it to vote," said the Republican governor of Wisconsin.

Apparently (I had to ask my tweeps) Scott Walker is talking about pseudoephedrine, a decongestant that is used in the illicit production of methamphetamine. Walker is actually comparing purchasing it to the constitutional right to vote. He's saying because the federal and State controlled substances statutes require photo ID to purchase controlled substances, then, thus, therefore, ergo, the state may require you to present photo ID in order to exercise your constitutional right — your First Amendment right, according to the right-wing Justice Patience Roggensack — to vote. Does anybody really buy Walker's illogical and nonsensical analogies? If so, do they need to present a photo ID?

What a bunch of whiny ass bitches. Get a fucking ID,apply for the free ID if you're broke!

Fraud exists. Taking steps to prevent it from growing larger is prudent. It would only take 1 instance of wide-spread fraud to make us regret not having better safe guards in place.

Fucking democrats and their whiny ass, emotion laden, the boogie man is gonna get you bullshit! I'm sick and tired of being called extreme because we tell it like it is. If your intelligence is insulted by such statements, maybe it is indeed because you're a fucking moron!

It's the fallacious arguments that are insulting, and in fact Walker's is more insulting than 'fucking whiny ass Democratic bitches' or whatever, which wouldn't trouble me one bit. The steps that are being taken have the effect of making it more difficult to vote, that is the issue.
